All the people who used to post in this forum years ago and are not here anymore what happened to them? Did they get better and just left, or they got tired of the forum? I hope they cured themselves... so if anyone knows would be great to share the info.

I don't post often but once in a while I do check this forum and wanted you to know that I have been healed for over 10 years without any relapses! I used alternative medicine which worked for me and because I believe we live in a toxic world I still continue to detox, eat as healthy as I can, etc.

So please don't give up hope okay? Denise10 years well ~ used Dr. Jernigan's protocol from his book about Biological Medicine. Green Vibrance only

I still detox even though healed. I come back to help others for others helped me when I was sick. Pay it forward!

Having been here as long as I have (LOL! crazy, huh?), I have seen and talked to many that pass through this forum. Most that are no longer here have healed, but they did not wish to 'revisit' their struggles with a "Hey! I'm healed!" post because they just wanted to move on with their lives and forget that they had ever been here.

Unfortunately, some have just moved on though and some are still so sick that they no longer post - there are about 6 people that come to mind immediately.

Many others just drop off and there's no telling if they are healed, or if they have just moved on not needing the support and connections that are formed here.

It takes an unusual person to wish to stick around to continue to post after they have healed, as it requires us to relive the experiences over and over again as we read through others trying to explain what they are dealing with. For me, it's a kind of therapy, as I was left with PTSD type reactions to many serious complications that I had experienced during the course of my illness.

As you know, this is a scary and disturbing illness to get through, and for many of us it's the most ill we have ever been - and then left to figure it out on our own!

What I can say is that this community has always had some of the most awesome people that come back to post after they have healed, and we have some of the most awesome people that agree to stick around and help out after they have healed either by just continuing to post, or volunteer many, many hours weekly as a Mod.Herb only treatment for Lyme & Bart ended 12/11 - no active symptoms for 2 yrs -Herb only treatment for Babesia ended 12/12www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=2977364Had Lyme, Bart, Babs, RMSF, Ehrlichia, Myco, Anaplasmosis, EBVNew Lyme case 8/2014 - Healed 1/31/15 - unknowingly had Asymptomatic Babs and Asymptomatic Bart, being treated now though (2/2016)

every protocol whether traditional or alternative seems a hit or miss.

^ Exactly. I noticed that even within my own family, which is kind of interesting considering our similarities (genetics, food, environment, exposure, etc)!I have a long list of things we've tried that fall into the category "gee, it sounded like a good idea at the time but was a failure for us".

I have to admit that I know a lot of people who still struggle IRL. But most of those are from not getting adequate medical care and/or blindly following mainstream and/or in denial and/or not being treated.

It's tough - really tough. I fully expect a happy/better outcome for my family at some point, but I never ever expected it would take this long and effect so many of us.Kid#1: Extremely sick for several years, very difficult to treat, improved now but not fully wellKid#2: Very sick now despite being treated for yearsKid#3: Doing very well (ironically had the least and shortest treatment)Me: Adv Labs positive 2016 (suspected I passed to my kids) - not as sick as others, mostly battling fatigue and yeast issues

Truthfully, my age now is a big concern to me if I can even get moderately well again. I have no idea how old any of you are on here, other than a good guess about Traveler based on her age at onset plus the 40 years of struggle, and then relative cure time frame.

I got this, I believe, when I was 35, and now I'm 65. Only last year did a Dr. begin to put me on abx for it, but what limited help it gave didn't last. Trying to do this on my own like I am is far from adequate, and so much damage has been done, I would almost have to be institutionalized with 24/7 treatment and diet to turn this around.

Dr. Martz was diagnosed with ALS - I believe he was in his 60's - and had tested negative with the "regular " labs...and then heard of someone who had treated their "ALS" with antibiotics for Lyme Disease and had gotten well.

He then tested positive through Igenex and was treated with abx and is well now.I do believe he remains in abx because when he stops, his symptoms come back.

Here is a link to a YouTube video - of him accepting a research award - he tells his story.

I watched it, and I teared up once again to hear someone list my symptoms (some of them), even though he was said to have A.L. He was doing well in 2012, but still on abx and said at that time he would be for the rest of his life? Good that he is a physician and can find ways of supplying his own.

I hope he is still doing well. He's the kind of man I'd enjoy having as a friend.

Yet of course here we are 5 years later and his hopes have not been realized with the Medical or Governmental communities.

As far my using botanicals each bottle I used contained many herbs in one bottle that were tested.

For instance, Borrelogen contains over 10 herbs. If you click on the 2nd link below on the lower right hand corner you can read all the herbs that are in Borrelogen. They all work together to restore the body to good health.

Artermix- keep reading the buhner book. Yeah it starts out that way, but I've found his work the most inspirational of all because ultimately he leaves you with a couple ideas that can be explored nearly endlessly. If you read his other books you will see that Lyme is not so advanced. Just another infection that we've underestimated. We are not hopelessly doomed to it, we just have to change the way we think of treating these infections. Buhner offers some real unique ideas to start
